This will be an interesting test, since I've never even heard of the place. Follow-up question: do you use Yelp or have you made reservations through OpenTable (not to this restaurant, just anywhere)?Worstcase I'll just zip tie on a seat... but i'd rather not. —Zev (who else)

No I haven't written anything on Yelp, or reserved anything online. I'm thinking they got my email from some place that's sharing it, and I always walk around with the wifi on, so maybe that triggered something. It's still weird.

on my sprint phone its an application or something called izat location optimizer that will use cell tower pings to give you a closer reading to your location. it will work with and without gps or wifi. i believe if you have root access you can remove the application

TBH I just didn't read it, lol. I was all "I have a bunch of those reload pads somewhere that came as tube protectors on a shipped bike, I'll just throw the link up". Looks like it'd work fine, though. Soma makes them too."life is hard, cats are soft." - surprisefries

ohio, 2 hours from a big airport, night in a hotel...not even a phoneterview first, cuz there's some sorta hands-on part they want. the vague impression i have (which i may have entirely made up) is that they're mostly interviewing locals but also want to talk to one or two, uh, actually qualified people? and i'm that.

turns out the detroit airport is so far out of detroit that it's actually the shortest drive, so that's where i'm flying...historic farm specialist for wood county, which is a job i'm really into, but the interview sounds like kind of a nightmare - hour of regular "behavioral interview questions", 15 minutes me giving a talk on a historic thing of my choice, and then i'm supposed to give a 45 minute interpretive tour of the farmhouse/grounds but i've been provided with 0 info with which to build a tour and their website has squat i guess the guy thinks he's helping me save money by getting all the interview parts out of the way at once, but like...idk maybe a phone interview first could have been worthwhile?not that i don't want it, but i want to at least know he really wants me before i do all this money-spending (too late now)

i did just get the guy to give me at least an outline of what's there, if not any of the actual history that would make an interesting talk (he sent me excerpts from the master plan from a decade ago, before it opened), but i don't have the impression anyone else has asked for any information. what the absolute fuck are they planning to do? just show up and go "FARM! FARM GOOD! ANIMALS NICE!"??

Several times, unfortunately. I guess I don't really associate them with farms. I also meant it more like, animals are nice to look at even though many of them are total dicks. See also: turkeys.DFL and DTF :D:D:D:D
